Inside One of the Best Brutalist Homes in North America [FULL HOUSE TOUR]

Casa Soskil is a brutalist masterpiece that redefines modern architecture by prioritizing the garden over the structure itself.

In today's episode, owner Paola Alfaro takes us on a tour joined by Paula Bustos - a Mexico City-based Fora Travel Advisor, as they discuss the journey of turning a home in ruins in the heart of Merida, Mexico into a brutalist masterpiece - all while respecting and protecting the nature that had grown inside the property.
The floor plan balances two distinct atmospheres: a bright, social hub at the front and a shaded, meditative sanctuary at the back. By deconstructing conventional open-air living, the ground floor functions as a continuous, airy space where the line between nature and shelter disappears. The bedrooms are elevated above this landscape, acting like treehouses inserted into a lush concrete design that feels more like a garden home than a traditional building.
